Thank you Clive,

I knew the meaning, but it sounds odd that men endure after getting married.
So, it literally means suffering!! Poor men.

Paeez · Answer

Could it have the meaning of bearing a load?

Anonymous · Answer

That means the men get sad after getting married.

PaeezI knew the meaning, but it sounds odd that men endure after getting married.

It reminds me of the joke I heard yesterday.

A man went to a psychiatrist and said, "I think that my wife is trying to kill me. She is giving me poison. What can I do?"
The psychiatrist said. "OK, I will visit your wife and talk to her. Then I will tell you what to do."
A few days later, the man went back to the psychiatrist for his advice.
The psychiatrist said. "I spent four hours with your wife. My advice is to take the poison."

Hi,

You need some context to be sure what the original writer meant.
Perhaps he was serious, perhaps he was being facetious.

, My motto about getting married: Live free or die hard! You know what means dying, figuratively, or literally!

I hope I translated the joke correctly!
A married man live longer than a single man, but wishes more for death.

And a saying
A woman says the last word in an argument, any word the man says is the beginning of another argument.

So the load thing is not an option. I got that point.

Thank again.
